WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-The Repubii-
can members of the house committee on
territories is preparing grand outbreak of
protestation against the Democratic policy
with regard to the admission Of Dakota
just what it is nobody yet knows, but it is
understood that midnight oil is being eX-
pended i'll drafting some sort of declara-
ton OF rights which will appear later on.
In the meantime Mr.. Springer is perfectly
satisfied that it any bill is passed his omni-
bus fOur-State bill will be the one. No bill,
he says, will pass that does not give the
people OF Dakota the chance to say how
they desire to come into the Union
whether as whole state or as two states.
With North Dakota and the Black hills CO.
operating there is little doubt that at the
time vote is taken the wisdom of Mr..
Springer's position will be demonstrated.
Already the efforts of the South Dakota Re-
publican ring have exhausted themselves and
the chief factors in that movement have
lost cohesion among themselves. Judge
MoOdy'S recent utterances in regret at the
ultra position into which the Republicans
of South Dakota have placed themselves,
have given no small satisfaction to the
Democratic members of the committee on
territories. Chairman Henley says that
while it is not likely that any action in Da-
kota will be taken this session, this much
at least has been aceomplished-tha the
people, and not the politicians, of Dakota
are in the ascendency. Senator Harrison,
of Indiana, has said that the Springer bill
is essentially just upon the question of adj
mission of the various territories, and it is
understood that the bill would receive his
support if it should pass the house and go
to the senate.

THE FUR TO Fly.
The Sioux Bill Getting Into Such
shape That Nobody Likes Ii.

Specldl 10 the GiODe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-As the session
advances interest in the fate of the Dawes
Sioux bill inceases. Time is passing
rapidly, and as yet but few of the appro-
priation bills have received consideration,
and many subjects of legislation requiring a
great deal of time and debate and of the
first impo4 tance to the country still re-
main on the calendar untouched. 1t
must be confessed that that the con-
diton of the Dawes bill does not promise
well for it. The house committee has
found a great peal to aSSail in the petty
amendments tackled on the measure
in the senate in the interest of all sorts of
private and local interests Most
of these have been knocked off.
special warfare has been made upon the
railroad features of the bill. and when
the house once gets into debate upon the
bill the fur will fly. This railroad fight, if
anything, will cause the defeat of the bill,
and it is likely to happen in the senate.
Judge Wellborn. chairman of the house In
dian committee, has received during the
session hundreds of letters from Dakota
urging him to hasten the bill to its pas
sage, but not without first eliminating
all the attempts made by railroad companies
1ol SAidtStiN0 SIdlltS vi ldllu. vi course IL
is understood that no land is granted out
right to the railroad companies, but sane
ton is given by the bill, as it now stands,
to contracts which the roads have made
with the Indians for the pur-
chase Of land. which will be exceed
ingly valuable for town site pur-
poses when the roads are projected across
the Missouri to the Black Hills. Settlers
everywhere in Dakota, who have any inter-
est in the reservation, desire to have fair
play shown so that they can take up land
near the railroad if they desire to. Judge
Wellborn has also received letters which
advise him that all work upon the bill this
session. either in the house or senate, is
likely to be waste of time, because there
is good reason to believe that the Indians
themselves will not ratify its provisions if
they should be passed by congress and APP
proved by the president. They distrust it,
They believe that they are to be cheated
out of valuable lands, and that their future
will be seriously prejudiced if the bill be-
comes a law. These advices state that it
will be absolutely impossible to induce
maj ority of the male Sioux to sign ratfi-
cation of the bill.

Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, Jan, 21.-ln these legislative
meetings in Dakota nowadays there is
missed one face and figure that used TO be
seen i'll the front ranks of political warfare
in the early days of this territory. 1t is the
face and figure of EnOs StutSman, probably
the shrewdest diplomat the territory has
ever known, and, together with his natural
ability as a schemer and plotter, he pos
seSsed polish and education that gave him
more than ordinary prestige in the DAYS in
which he led the politics of this territory.
His dwelling place was Pembina, and the
tie of friendship that existed between him
and Jud Lamoure was almost as ardent as
the love of brothers. Enos was peculiar in
more ways than one. From his waist to
the top of his head he was as
fine a specimen of manhood
as one would wish to look upon. Broad
shoulders. heavy chest, magnificent head
and the air of a leader of men, gave him a
striking appearance as he used to sit behind
the presidents desk in the old council
chamber at YanktOn and rule with wonder
full readiness and iron will the little body
OF legislators who had been sent there by
the people to make laws for them. It
seemed as though in the creation OF Enos,
the lower half of his body had been robbed

physique of the man above the waist was
supported by a single leg, little more than
eighteen inches in length. and foot that
could easily wear a number 2 ladies' shoe
This deformity came with Enos at his birth
and he never knew the blessing of two good
strong, healthy legs; but he was sensitive
on this particular subject and nobody who
was acquainted with the man ever made
remark in his presence that re-
Elected on his deformity. With a
short crutch under each arm Enos would
climb stairs and walk through the streets at
gait that would keep man well supplied
with perfect legs busy. He was elected to
the council from Pembina regularly for sew
eral years and he was always granted the
honor of presiding over that body, and his
executive ability and his knowledge of par
liamentary practice amply fitted him for
that position. 1t is said of him that he was
the bosom friend and the adviser OF Louis
Riel during the Northwest rebellion led BY
the latter in 1869. He was the brains of
the Northwest for many years. but immi-
grafton crowded him out and he wandered
south and in 1878 died in st. Joseph, Mo.
Stutsman county, this territory was named
in his honor. TEE AITCH,

BISMARCK, Jan. 21.-This has been the

winter of 'S1-2. 1t is estimated that now
prairies are covered with twelve inches of
snow on a level, and i'll the towns it is
drifted so badly that only the roofs of houses
can be seen from the streets Here drifts
are piled up in front yards nearly to the
caves of one-story houses, and travel is
much easier in the streets than on
the sidewalks, which are drifted
under. During the past two weeks
the trains from the East have been
from five to eight hours late in consequence
OF heavy winds or billiards that have
packed the rails in snow so hard that it
would almost bear the weight of locomo-
tive. There is hardly citizen in Bismarck
who does not remember the winter of
'S1-2. when the great snow blockade be-
tween the valleys of the Missouri and Red
rivers occurred. 1t was terrible winter
for those who lived in this little city, then
in the youth of Its prosperity. This was
the terminus of the Northern Pacific road.

Fierce Misunderstood.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-At the White
house, where good deal of interest is
taken in newspapers; the journalistic efforts
of Gov. Pierce. of Dakota, of late. have
been carefully scanned. The president
took good deal of interest in Gov. Pierce,
as may be readily supposed from the fact
that he voluntarily retained Pierce in office
two years. and the president has had an
excellent impression of Pierce. However,
the unStatesmanlike paragraphs of Editor
Pierce have served to modify the presi-
dents views of Gov. Pierce. He can hardly
understand how gentleman, who is still a
part of the administration. and will be
until his successor has been con-
firmed by the senate, can be
so much out of harmony with the Dem
ocratic party. Gov. Pierce's illusions
to Congressman Springer and the position
of the Democrats upon the question of adj
mission strike the president as somewhat
reactiOnary. He doesn't either quite I'M
derstand why person of SO much polite
ness when appearing at the White house
should resort to so much billingsgate since

''clOd hoppers'' nor ''simple minded" Of
course. having nominated Gov. Church

dent is at the mercy of their action and
cannot, as he did in the case of District
Attorney Stone, summarily suspend the
offender. The president rather thinks he

ably, but it is noticeable that those who are
his friends do not place too much conf
dence in him. he was at the head of the
revolutionary movement that created such
an uproar last Monday, and held the house
in deadlock nearly eight hours, and he
had it neatly planned: and if he had had
the ability to hold his friends together until
the three men from down the road had ar
rived he would have carried his point and
won victory that would have brought him
cOnSpicuously before the public: but as the
affair came out he and his friends
are worse off than they were before and
nearly all Bismarck is now stamping on his
neck when he really doesn't deserve it. He
saw chance to place the power of legislation
in the hands of North Dakota, and he took
it as any man with an ambition like his
would have done, and he failed, not
through any mismanagement OH his part
but through the Weakened action of those
men who had agreed to stand by him.
From now out he will prove a thorn in the
side Of Speaker Crosse. who has much
better physique than he has an understands
ing of Cushings manual. 1t may be- now
ever, that he will prove himself odous be-
fore the session is ended by too much talk
ing, as Maj. Picker did two years ago.
Williams cannot make move in the house
that every man in the Southern ranks
doesn't observe. They are afraid OF him
aud keep him we'll under their eyes for
fear if they fall Off their guard he
will crack some scheme on them that
will injure their interests. The thing they
most fear now is that an effort will be made
to depose the speaker if by hook or crook
the majority gets into the hands of the
North again, and they are keeping a good
look out that no more secessions occur Their
recent narrow escape has taught them a
valuable lesson. Williams is a republ-
can and as closely welded to politics as he
is to his church. He is lawyer by pro-
fession but has not practiced for years. hay
ing made some profitable speculatons in
real estate here when the boom was on five
years ago, which enable him to devote his
time to matters political. He is thirty-six
years of age, tall and splendidly proper
toned, smooth face, clear cut features, a
heavy growth of hair plentifully sprinkled
with gray, and the air of man who is sure
that he knows a triie more than his next
door neighbor. He looks like John McCul-
Tough, the lamented tragedian, and acts like
Roscoe Conkling, the eminent comedian.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The authority
for the report that Gov. Church and Mr..
Day had an understanding before Church
was appointed governor by which Day was
assured he would be made territorial aud
itor if he would withdraw. is Republican,
and one of decided prominence in Dakota,
and he is firm friend of Days. Either he
was miSinformed or he desired to misinform
others. In all probability he was told that
the bargain between Church's friends and
Day had actually been made. There is
really no foundation for the report, except
the fact that it comes from somewhere near
Mr.. Day. What foundation there is in
this must be left to the intrinsic probabili-
ties. Day is not likely, according to letters
received here recently, and also according
to some things Judge Church said here, to
get the authorship.

RESERVATION COAL.

clined TO Give Capital Chance at
Indian Coal Fields.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Attention is
belng given by number of capitalists to
the deposits of coal on the Moreau river in
Dakota. The opening of the Sioux reser-
Walton will not bring these coal fields within
the reach of organized capital, and will
leave them still under the tribal title.
The only hope of utilizing them
lies i'll the fact that within the
next few days some decision is to be
reached by Secretary Lamar upon the
whole question of mineral and coal deposits
within Indian reservations. 1t is believed
from what he has said upon the subject
that he is disposed in all cases to open these
great natural resources to the use of the
Western settlers. He said especially with
regard to the Moreau deposits that they
should be utilized for the benefit
OF the vast untimbered prairie region of
Dakota. and if he could do so consistently
with the best interests of the Indians and of
consumers of fuel in Dakota, he would
readily approve a lease with any
responsible association OF capitalists
who desired to build road from
Pierre or Lebeau to the Black
hills. The deposits lie sixty miles from this
river, and their best outlet. probably, is at
PIERRE. The question is not yet fully de-
termned whether these deposits are of any
commercial value, but the general impress
sion among those who have made an in
vestigation into them is that they contain
moderately useful kind of Ignite
i'll deposits of sufficient thickness
to warrant mining, and that cheap coal,
worth something like from 60 to 20 per
cent. OF ordinary anthracite. could be sold
from these deposits at all points within
radius OF 800 miles at a price of from So to
$3.50. The geological survey has pro-
nounced these fields valueless. Other geolo-
glStS, who have made private examination
OF them regard them as valuable. The
Black Hills road from Mandan passes near
the best deposits, but no very extended or
thorough survey of them has ever been
made. There are deposits along the Brand
river and Black Horse creek, it is said,
which are also worth looking into. The In
dams have Drough a great deal of coal from
time to time to the Missouri river, some of
it being of the best quality. Whether this
was done to deceive the whites or
in good faith is unknown. The
matter will be thoroughly examined by
gentlemen who have lately taken an inter
est in the matter during the coming sum
mer. Interest in these ccal fields has
Quickened by the appearance of Gen. Will
hanson, of the Crow Greek agency in Mon
tana, in Washington to lay before Secre-
tary Lamar and Indian Commissioner At
kins facts with regard to the value of the
Ignite deposits on the Crow reservation.
